In an interview with Pastor David Platt of McLean Bible Church, a missionary shared a story of how one Muslim met with Jesus.

From CBN News. During this season of Ramadan, CBN News is recounting some remarkable stories from recent years about how Jesus Christ has supernaturally revealed himself to Muslims in dreams and visions….

McLean Bible Church Pastor David Platt interviewed the missionary during The Gospel Coalition’s “Something Needs to Change Simulcast” a few years ago. To protect him, the church did not show an image of the missionary, and Platt gave him the pseudonym, “Yazid” which means “God will increase.” The church also altered Yazid’s voice so it cannot be recognized.

Yazid and his wife live and work in a part of the Middle East where it’s against the law to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and even life-threatening to talk about the advancement of the gospel.

The couple spends their lives sharing the gospel among Muslims who have never heard it, and they also plant churches. “God is moving inside the Middle East with dreams, visions, and personal visitations,” Yazid shared.

He went on to say that a man shared his amazing supernatural encounter with God: “‘A man wearing all white knocks on my door every night, and I couldn’t look at him because his face was so shiny and bright. When he would come inside, he asked me to write down what he said. And as I wrote, I would fall asleep. And then, the next night, he would come again… for the next month.'”

Yazid asked the man, “What did you write? May I see your notebook?”

Yazid shared that in the man’s notebook was written, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.”

“He had the whole book of John verbatim in his notebook,” said Yazid. “This is amazing. Jesus visited him every night until he finished the book….”

[Platt] also asked Yazid what projects he was working on right now in the Middle East and what resources were needed. Yazid explained how he and his wife want to build 10 churches, but “training disciples who make disciples takes time and funding….”

THE CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE

Pray for Muslims during this season of Ramadan that they would encounter the living God, Jesus Christ.

The Bible records numerous visions of Jesus and angels speaking to people, so we know God does choose to speak to people in this way at times….

1 John 4:19 We love because He first loved us.

Hosea 10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness and reap the fruit of loving devotion; break up your unplowed ground. For it is time to seek the LORD until He comes and sends righteousness upon you like rain.

2 Corinthians 9:10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your store of seed and will increase the harvest of your righteousness.

Dear Lord, You love Yazid. You called him. You visited him in the night. You personally delivered the Word of Truth to him. You gave Yazid a wife to partner in his love for You. You give him influence and favor as he shares the Gospel in this hostile region. Who prayed for this man? Who asked for these blessings upon him? I believe You did. He is devoted to You Lord and I pray You send righteousness upon him and all others, like a drenching rain. I pray multiplication in all areas for Yazid and those who call upon يَسُوعُ المسيح, Yasū‘u l-Masīḥ, Jesus the Messiah. May the seeds of Your provision render a Kingdom Harvest, for Your Glory. I ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Word, the Truth and the Life. Amen

We had better not be complacent in praying for Muslim conversions. If you google th 2020 census you will find that most of us praying with IFA are not even replacing ourselves with children. At th current rate In a couple of generations Muslims will be in a majority in America.. The math is there and it is frightening ! So we need to start having 6 kids per family or diligently pray for more and more muslim to come to Christ. Satan has a seemingly impenetrable fortress of this faith growing around the world. Remember daily 2cor10:4… “for th weapons of our warfare are mighty to th pulling down of strongholds “….. Daily my friends, do not relent !!!!
